Since May, nearly 2,400 businesses between San Miguel and Solvang have responded. The latest survey results from November 9-30 found that nearly 30% of employers plan to hire in the next month, but many are still struggling. âRight around the start of COVID, we started a survey regionally because we were all doing our own individual ones so we ended up doing this regional survey with all of us combined so we could get a better feeling for the whole region," said Jim Dantona, San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce President and CEO.
